complete verse (Daniel 4:17)

Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Daniel 4:17:

  • Kupsabiny: “The angels proclaimed these decrees/decisions so that people everywhere will know that the God of authority rules over all nations of the whole world. He grants kingship/rulership to whoever he wishes, even if (he is) very small.’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “This kind of decision has been decreed by the heavenly watcher angels:
    God Most High has authority in all countries of the world,
    and He has given countries to rule to those He Himself has chosen,
    furthermore, He may even appoint the smallest of all [people] to rule there,
    so that all people may know that matter,
    the holy ones have announced this kind of decision.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “This is/was the decision/sentence announced/proclaimed by the angels, so-that all may know that the Most High God has power over the kingdoms of men. And he can give- them -over to anyone he desires/wishes, even to the least of all men.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “The holy angels have decided what must happen. They want to inform everyone that the Supreme God rules over all the kingdoms in this world. He is the one who chooses who will rule these kingdoms. He sometimes allows very unimportant people to become rulers.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
